Craft of the Week: Subtle Coastal Accents You Can Make

Hi there! How was your weekend? Ours was wonderfully unproductive, but now I'm ready to get back at it. Do you ever feel that way? We took a mental break from all of our have-tos this weekend--and it was great--but I can't stay idle for long.

I really love coastal style, how 'bout you? Especially the grown-up variety that's cottage-y, but not overdone with too many in-your-face "this is a beach house!" accents. I wrote about all the ways you can do coastal style over on About.com. Check it out! Here are some great DIY accessories from the blogosphere that subtly send out the coastal vibe without a lighthouse, seahorse, or anchor in sight. These projects are mostly about using textures and colors to evoke the sea, rather than iconic images, and I love their subtlety, don't you?

Great project ideas! Thanks for sharing them! My weekend was also very uneventful (I love it that way) It's almost back to school and everything will get crazy once again. Will enjoy the uneventful weekends as much as i can get them! Have a good day!
